Brother CP100X Computerized Sewing and Quilting Machine, and SASEW6 6-Piece Premium Sewing Thread Pack, SA520 Water Soluble Stabilizer

I really love this thing. I adapted to the cabinet from the Singer 832K I was using. That thing was my mom's and I'm 74! Yet I gave this 4 stars and not 5 for 2 reasons: 1) There does appear to be a hemmer foot available for it. I asked on the site about the SA127 and the reply was no, that is not compatible. I then asked what was compatible and received no answer. Apparently the SA164 is not compatible either. Are there others? I can't find way to filter for hemmer feet on Brother web site. 2) The other day I loaded up a new thread and when I started a straight stitch--what a mess on the underside! I re-strung the thread being more careful and that corrected it, but I am not sure why. I think it has to do with the way it goes through the tensioner. There is a little guide that the thread needs to be in front of, apparently, but the instructions do not specify that.

I'm new to sewing and this machine seems easy to use. I like the automatic threader as that's something I've generally had challenges with in the past. There's a couple youtube videos on this machine and they were perfect to helping me figure out how to thread and get started with this machine. The machine itself seems reliable and I'm already using some of the custom stitching.

purchased this Brother sewing machine to replace my old one, looking for something reliable but not too fancy since I don't sew as much as I used to. This machine has been a great choice! It's lightweight, making it easy to set up and store, and the instructions are very clear, making it simple to use right out of the box. One feature I appreciate is the needle assist, which works well, but I do wish it included the automatic needle threader that I've seen on other Brother models—it would have been a nice addition. Overall, this machine is perfect for my needs: straightforward, easy to use, and well-designed for casual sewing projects. If you're looking for a good, basic sewing machine without unnecessary extras, this is a great option!

This is my first computerized machine and I am in love! It's so cool to be able to move the needle position and it's so easy to use. I love how I can see my bobbin also. I am extremely happy over moving the needle. Lately I have been doing a lot of shirring. Because I am able to move the needle, I can do my shirring evenly without having to mark the lines. It's amazing to now how a machine that can do everything that I needed 2 machines for.

Disagree with members who has skipped stitches, and issues using the 100 plus stitches. BUY ORGAN needles. A few needles were included in package. This machine is wonderful...and walking foot included. You all are wrong with your negative comments. DID YOU READ THE DIRECTIONS?
